Are you a sweet or a salty kinda person? Hands down, I’m a salty gal. Give me all the chips.

Making your own chips at home is really easy, although slightly time consuming for the pay off. But the plus side is that you get to add whatever fabulous flavours you want (rosemary and garlic!) and you can use gorgeous purple potatoes.

I have an obsession with purple vegetable. Especially purple vegetables that aren’t usually purple. So beautiful, right?

1. Pre-heat oven to 350F. 2. Slice potatoes thinly. *A mandolin slicer makes this easier, but is not necessary. Just try to slice the same thickness for every chip. 3. (Note: I am usually too lazy for this step, but people seem to think it makes for a better chip) With water, rinse the extra starch off your potato slices then dry them using a clean dish towel. 4. In a bowl mix chips with enough oil to cover them, then line them in a single layer on a parchment paper covered baking sheet. 5. Sprinkle rosemary, garlic powder, and salt to your taste over the sheet of potato slices. 6. Bake for about 20 minutes. I usually check on them at about 10 – 15 minutes and start taking out any crispy chips.

Chocolate-y soft serve that’s made from healthy whole foods? Yup. Only three ingredients? Yup. I know, I’ve got you hooked. The recipe is super simple, really more of a method. But you can dress this smoothie bowl up or down, and customize it to your heart’s desire! I went for a Valentine’s Day dessert theme and topped them with decadent goodies. Chocolate Dream Bowl Frozen Bananas Cocoa Powder Milk of your choice (I used coconut) Cut up your frozen bananas, so they’ll blend more easily. Add them to your blender or food processor. Add in cocoa powder to taste (probably start slow, you can always add more!). Now, add in the smallest possible amount of your chosen milk. This is key if you want a thicker smoothie/nice cream. You want to add just enough liquid that you’re able to blend the frozen bananas. Blend, and add more liquid as needed. ToppingsMy BF is super into chocolate, so I wanted to amp up the chocolatey goodness in my toppings. I used: Nature’s Path Organic Love Crunch granola in dark chocolate & red berries Some defrosted strawberries Toasted coconut flakes Green & Black’s organic milk chocolate with chopped almonds The options are endless. You can top yours with any sort of fruit, nut, seed, etc. If you’re at a loss for ideas, I suggest you take a look at #smoothiebowl. TipsPrep your toppings before blending the smoothie so it doesn’t melt while prepping Put your serving bowl in the freezer to cool before adding the smoothie

If you make this recipe, be sure to share it with me here/on social media! Happy V-day. Or just happy Sunday, because I actually don’t really care that it’s Valentine’s day. I’m down to eat this nice cream bowl any day.
